I’ve now used for a couple of months 3 grams a day niacin and noticed that my panic attacks and anxiety is gone. So I can now quit taking benzos everyday, which is a really big improvement since benzos shouldn’t be taken everyday for optimal effect.
But still a very positive result from taking both 3grams of c-vitamine and niacin for a couple of months.
I used to take a lot supplements, but I hate taking them now and haven’t for a long time. I only want to take an antipsychotic each day and that’s it. I have actually taken 3g of niacin a day at times in the past. 1g 3 times a day. It does cause flushing, espeically to begin with. I just don’t like taking supplments anymore.
For how long did you take the niacin? I read that it takes a few months to start working. But this is certainly an improvement in many areas for myself. So I’m intrigued.
I used to awaken to panic attacks and anxiety so I had to take benzos on awakening which was troublesome as benzos shouldn’t be taken every day.
Yeah I took it for while. Maybe a week or so here and there. I just can’t be bothered with it. My mental state is good. I can only diligently take medication prescribed by a doctor. There has been talk of niacin helping depression and schizophrenia.
Ok good to know. Yes I have SZA myself and it has helped me with depression and this anxiety/panic issue. So pretty good results and I’m happy.
Been in so bad shapes that I’ve mostly just layed on my bed for the days.
That sucks laying on your bed man. Also, anhedonia or inability to experience pleasure is really, really bad. I haven’t been dealing with that for at least a couple of months now though.
Yeah my life sucked pretty hard. I also have that inability to experience pleasure. But haven’t given it much thought yet since I felt so bad so long.
Lately I can experience pleasure fine. In the past I was on an antipsychotic injeciton of Clopixol and things sucked at times.
Also don’t smoke marijuana. It caused me a hellish anxiety disorder that took 6 months to recover from! Just warning you man.
i took up to 5 grams a day for a few years, but then one day my stomach couldnt handle it anymore, not even 500mgs. just end up sick.
Ok good to know. Thank you for sharing.
Did it help to any of your symptoms? And when you quit were they gone or did they return?
B vitamins can be dangerous. Don’t believe all the old hype.
People doing extremely high doses of b vitamins, it just doesn’t sound right. Be careful.
I’m always careful so no worries. They even do niacin tests on rats nowadays so.
Niacin has no antipsychotic properties and 3g /day will probably wreck your liver.
Did you have a B12/folate deficiency?
There are no studies of 3g IR niacin wrecking our liver. And for me this has immensely helped in many areas.
Those doses are probably way higher than 3g.
